"Are you hiding something in your heart? Can you tell me about it?" Chen Yan raised her hand and touched her head, asking softly.

Jiang Xianyue hesitated for a moment, but finally told her the reason.

After Chen Yan heard this, her expression became complicated.

On one side is the person Yueyue likes, and on the other side is the mission that Yueyue has to shoulder.

No matter which one she chooses, Yueyue will never feel truly happy.

Jiang Xianyue raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then raised her head to look at Chen Yan, smiled bitterly and said, "Yan Yan, it's impossible for him and I to be together. I was born into the sea clan, so naturally I have to shoulder the responsibilities that come with it. I can't be so selfish and only think about myself."

Chen Yan pursed her lips and asked, "Are there any other people in your royal family of the sea clan?"

"If there is still..." Jiang Xianyue's eyes grew dim, "I wouldn't have to worry so much."

She is the only one left in the royal family of the sea tribe.

Chen Yan looked at her with distressed eyes and hugged her a little tighter.

She whispered, "Yueyue, the lifespan of a cultivator is so long. If you compromise yourself just to fulfill your mission, you will definitely not be happy. Yueyue, you don't have to make a choice so quickly. No matter what choice you make, we will support you."

Jiang Xianyue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and countless emotions surged in her heart, but after hearing her comforting words, her heart inexplicably calmed down.

She slowly leaned her head into Shen Yan's arms.

"Um."

…

at the same time.

Zhuge Youlin, who was in another cabin, paced back and forth.

From time to time he would put his ear to the cabin door to eavesdrop on any movement outside.

The longer he waited, the more impatient he became.

"Why did you talk for so long?"

Finally, he could no longer suppress the impulse in his heart. He reached out his hand tremblingly and gently pushed open the door, leaving a narrow gap.

He opened his eyes wide and peeked out through the gap.

However, to his disappointment, there was still no sound coming from the cabin where Jiang Xianyue was.

He became increasingly anxious, as if he had a sense of loss.

About half an hour later.

Crunch——

There was the sound of the door opening.

Zhuge Youlin, who was originally sitting by the cabin door, suddenly started and stood up. He secretly opened the door and through the narrow gap, he saw Chen Yan leaving.

as well as……

Jiang Xianyue's figure in another cabin.

His heart skipped a beat, and seeing Jiang Xianyue about to close the door, his inner impulse made him open the door immediately.

"Yueyue!"

When Jiang Xianyue heard the call, her expression changed subtly in an instant, and a hint of panic appeared on her originally calm face.

Almost subconsciously, she quickened the pace of closing the door, as if wanting to hide herself and prevent him from seeing her appearance at the moment.

But how could Zhuge Youlin give up so easily?

He took big steps and rushed towards the closing door.

Just as the door was about to close, he raised one foot with all his strength and pressed it firmly against the crack of the door, preventing it from closing.

Jiang Xianyue obviously did not expect him to do this. She was stunned at first, then lowered her head, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes.

She raised her leg without mercy and stomped hard on Zhuge Youlin's foot that was pressing against the door.

"Ah!" Zhuge Youlin let out a scream. The piercing pain came from the soles of his feet, making him gasp.

Out of instinct, he reflexively pulled his injured foot back, but at the same time, he realized that if he retreated at this moment, the door would be completely closed, and he and Yueyue would be separated again.

So he gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain in his feet, bent down desperately, and forced his head into the narrow gap in the door.

His head was hit by the door and the pain made him break out in a cold sweat.

"Are you crazy?!" Jiang Xianyue shouted in shock, anger and heartache when she saw this.

The noise they made immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the deck outside.

When they got up and rushed over, they could only see a figure forcing their way into the cabin, and with a 'bang', the cabin door was closed.

Seeing this, Qu Su was also stunned.

At this moment, the friends looked at Chen Yan and asked with concern: "Are they okay?"

Chen Yan looked at them and said seriously, "Let them talk alone."

Hearing this, the friends looked at each other and felt a little uneasy.

Things seem to be going off the track.

At this moment, Qu Su also felt the heaviness of the atmosphere. His expression became subtle, and he thought to himself: Could it be that they made a fuss because of what he said today?

Qu Su, realizing this, looked quite embarrassed.

Qu Su asked hesitantly, "Are they...really okay?"

Chen Yan replied, "Brother Qu, don't worry, they will be fine."

"Then I feel relieved." Qu Su coughed lightly, his tone a little unnatural.

…

Inside the cabin.

After Zhuge Youlin forced his way into the room, he closed the door.

"Yueyue..."

Jiang Xianyue turned her back and said in the same tone as before: "What are you doing here? Don't you know I want to make an elixir?"

"I'm sorry." Zhuge Youlin looked at her delicate body and soul, his eyes dim, and apologized sincerely.

"You did nothing wrong, why are you apologizing to me?" Jiang Xianyue walked to the cauldron.

Zhuge Youlin explained seriously: "I made you unhappy, it's my fault!"

Jiang Xianyue was silent.

Zhuge Youlin's heart grew increasingly uneasy. He was about to walk towards Jiang Xianyue—

"stop!"

She shouted, causing him to stop in his tracks.

"I'm refining the elixir, don't get too close to me. Are you done? If you're done, you can leave." Jiang Xianyue said as he picked up the elixir materials from the table beside him and placed them one by one in the cauldron.

She never looked at him from beginning to end.

At this moment, Zhuge Youlin felt depressed and extremely uncomfortable.

"Don't you want to forgive me?"

"I don't."

"You did! You don't even look at me now!" Zhuge Youlin took off his mask, and the grievance was hard to hide on his handsome face.

Jiang Xianyue said coldly: "I am concentrating on refining the elixir now and have no time to look at you. Besides, it's not like I haven't seen you before."

When Zhuge Youlin heard the last sentence, his eyes wandered for a moment, his face flushed pink, and he whispered, "You haven't seen me..."

Jiang Xianyue: "..."

He seemed to realize that his words were too suggestive. He looked a little unnatural, but still said what he was thinking, "Look at other people's things less in the future. What's so good about other people's things?"

His tone was sour.

Jiang Xianyue curled her fingers slightly and looked up at him, "Zhuge Youlin, we are just friends. Why do you care about me? In the future, I will not only watch, but also do this to others."
